Pole cutter has good extending reach and cuts well
A little heavy at the blade end but still very usable
Only gripe is that it doesn’t fold in half which makes it harder to transport.
Looks good, cuts well, a bit heavy but does the job.
Easier and safer than by hand, but a bit heavy.
No problem with this trimmer apart from the weight. Difficult to use for any length of time.
Easy to use and great battery life. Great extension reach. Value for money
We sent this back as it was very heavy – bought because it said it was lightweight – however despite returning it the day after purchase and Amazon confirming received the next day we are still waiting on a refund
Really good piece of equipment, my Son used it and found it really useful in our Autumn garden clear up.
It works well trimming hedges etc, but it’s biggest drawback is heavy and your arms soon get tired trimming hedges. If it was half the weight I would of giving it 5 stars.
Works really well. No need to use ladder with our very high hedges. With the price I can’t complain. I recommend it.
Easy to use and does the job but not for thick branches
This is a handy tool to have for when your hedges are overgrown and you cannot get to the backs of them.
It’s a bit too heavy for the likes of me but it’s ok for a man too handle it.
The instruction manual says not to let the battery run completely out as it could end up damaging it, manufacturers should add information on how/where to replace batteries.
The actual use of the hedge trimmers are great to use at different angles.
Good product, bit heavy to use but does a great job
Only used this one time but it performed well over an hour in use. It’s not too heavy but obviously the longer the reach the more heavy it feels! Snagged a few times on thicker growth but powerful enough for my garden!
Did the job I bought it for, it is a little bit heavy when cutting tall hedges but I can live with tha
The cutter itself cuts great and hardly any noise but dossapointed that there is no option to use without the long handle too, bit annoying for my smaller hedge as I thought the long handle could be removed like many others but it can’t, overall cuts great and great price
This is my second time buying this hedge trimmer which I only had to do as I lost the recharger. Still using the original!
Delivery time was excellent. We were very pleased with our purchase.
Good purchase pleased with this item could have had a more powerful battery but it does the job
I was a tad sceptical when I ordered this being cordless but I was pleasantly surprised. It is I think the lightest pole trimmer out there.
I am in my late sixties, my electric pole trimmer is now far too heavy for me now even at a short extension. This cordless trimmer I could manage even at full extension even off a ladder, but not for too long before resting a minute or two.
As for the cutting, it cut well. I have laurel and hawthorn hedges of about eight foot high. While it cut well, it cant be rushed and take time to rake off the debris off the top regularly to make cutting easier.
Battery life I found was very good but I didn’t time it. Not sure how long a fully changed battery will last for after 12 months of use. One good point is the unit comes I two peices for easy storage. Must get the pins and notches lined up and hand tighten the joint
Overall I was pleased with my purchase.
We needed to find a battery operated hedge trimmer to replace our corded one. It was becoming increasingly difficult to cut our tall conifer hedge using stepladders and trailing a lead. Several times the lead got cut during hedge cutting and the odds were getting shorter on a serious accident occurring!
This tool was easy to put together and to fully charge (1 hour) and I was able to cut the whole hedge with plenty of charge remaining. It was easy to use and the result was a better and more uniform cut due to the length of the blade and the ability to pivot the blade to angle the cut to do the top of the hedge.
The freedom of working without being precariously balanced at the top of a stepladder with a trailing lead was a real plus. This tool was very reasonably priced too and I am really pleased with it.
Cuts hedge well just a touch on the heavy side when using it for a long time.
Pole on full extension is slightly heavy and I think a better shoulder strap would improve it otherwise I am very happy with my purchase.
Gets a little heavy after 20 minutes or so but great value for money
I am very pleased with this pole cutter and glad I bought it. It is lightweight enough for my needs and cuts well within it’s limits, it cannot be exected to cut through the thicker branches that a petrol cutter would. You have to be aware that it is a little top heavy but that is not surprising. The switches are well placed on the handle and it is easy to operate. I have recommended it to others.
It is quite light to hold and the movable head is good for rounding the top of bushes/trees It runs for about 30 minutes on the battery, and then takes roughly 1 hour to charge so a good piece of kit. I would recommend to others . 5*****
It does the job but when fully extended it feels heavy and a little awkward. Always wear the harness to spread the weigh
Not used this yet, due to bad weather. Looks the part though, sturdy too. Good choice of cutting angles and easy to put together. Only very slight downer is that for small or not so strong folk may find a little heavy. In all fairness no good being any lighter,or would be weak in itself. Will add to this once used it.
Very heavy at the blade end to swing the trimmer. Suggest you try to get up a ladder so you are level, otherwise your shoulders will suffer.
Dilemma for me was to go corded or non corded? I chose this because I have only a 6m length of neighbours growth overhanging my garden. Putting it together was straight forward but I needed to add some lube in the plastic sleeve to allow me to push the two parts together. like other reviews I find this top heavy but not alarming so. Battery is fine but I’ve not used it for more than ten minutes but it recharged quickly. Feels secure but getting the sheath over the blade is a little challenging. Still, currently happy with this purchase.
A little bit unwieldy at first, but a great tool once you get the hang of i
We have a very tall hedge around 8ft or so and we had no trouble reaching the top and it helped with it being light and on top of that it is very quiet which is also nice too and being that it is quiet you must think it does not cut fast enough but again no issue at all on that front can be easily taken apart for storage does come with a blade cover charger and battery the person I brought it for was very impressed with the results can’t fault it at all
I have a monster hedge and this tackles it very well! I’m surprised it’s been so good.
I am a bit of a weakling and it is heavy for me but not too bad, still ok to hold even extended. People might struggle with the lack of handle but it does the job. All in all I’m very happy with it and it’s well worth the budget price.
I thought it looked good! But unfortunately it was still too heavy for me to use
At first it was a bit awkward to use, but soon got the hang of it. It’s not heavy but it gives the upper arms a good work out. All in all a very good buy.
Having read all the reviews, I decided to purchase this item as I needed a hedge trimmer and that’s exactly what I got! This is fantastic and does the job. Yes it is quite heavy, but I managed (lots of rest breaks). We have a large garden with plenty of overhanging bushes etc., and got everything cut back in one go as the battery life lasted so long. I would have no hesitation in buying this again.
For a cordless pole hedge trimmer under 100, this is actually hard to beat. Battery life is excellent compared to what some people on here have said and its cutting ability pretty good. It so nearly gets a 5 star, but it has one let down that for me drops the score. I only bought it because DeWalt that I normally use don’t do a pole trimmer and the Bosch that I was going to buy at twice the price had gone from next day delivery to sometime in about a month over a space of just 36 hours, and having parted company with our gardener who used to do this for us, I needed to cut the hedge before it got completely out of hand.
So first its positives. For a battery that is tiny, it took only two full charges to completely trim a 250 ft, 10 ft high mixed hedge. It gave me about 1hr 30 on the first charge which was enough to do all of the sides and then after less than an hour on charge gave me another 1 hr 15 which was enough to do the top (which is ~ 6 ft across). At the end of that the battery level indicator still read 2 bar so I reckon there was another 20-30 mins left.
Its cutting power is pretty good. Technically it will cut through 14 mm as per the specifications but only if the 14 mm is something really soft. The teeth will open that far but it doesn’t have enough grunt to cut through 14 mm of wood stem. I think the best I managed in a single cut was about 8 mm but by working gently from the side I got it through about 12 mm or so. It went through the upper stems of the hedge like a knife through butter; in fact the only bit that it really struggled with was some bind weed that was all entangled into about 6 ft of the hedge at one end and although it cut through, it was all interlinked and wouldn’t easily fall away.
At minimum length, it’s easy to use and anyone with half reasonable fitness will be able to swing it around all day. At full extension however it is quite heavy and unwieldy, but then so are all pole hedge trimmers. It’s got a dirty great electric motor and 0.5 m of cutting blade on the end of nearly 2 m of extension pole, so yes, it’s going to be a wee bit heavy. That wouldn’t in itself be an issue, if the shoulder strap worked, but it is useless. As soon as any weight comes on it it just slips down to full extension and takes none of the weight. Is it a major issue? Not once you work out how long it needs to be and then run it through a sewing machine with a gate stitch and fix it in place, but that assumes that only one person is going to use it and you shouldn’t need to do it.
So it’s a shame that the strap that probably only cost 1 or so to make lets the overall product down, but for everything else its certainly a very worthwhile purchase.
Nice adjustable length, not particularly heavy, seems well made and battery lasts pretty well.
Just the job for those difficult to reach hedge bits though you will need the supplied neck strap as when extended it can be difficult to manoeuvre. Seems to cut well but does not cope too well with branches/twigs over the spec size, in other words it will cut up to the size given by the manufacturer but struggles at that limit and won’t go beyond that.
Only used it twice.it is light and easy to use.cant comment on battery yet but no reason to be worried as ye
I found this hard to handle, all the weight seems to be at the top.
It is surprisingly heavy when extended to trim the top of my hedge or some distance from me i never gave a thought to before ordering but i ssume all extended trimmers are equal in this respec
After reading reviews of various different ones I opted for this one. I have a petrol one but wanted something light and telescopic to reach my neighbors very high portion of the hedges.
I had read a review that said you get about 15 mins use… Well I had around half hour cutting the other day and it worked a treat for the high hedge, not too heavy but you wouldn’t want to be doing it all day!
I then checked battery(after about 8 mins) still showing full so went and tidied up part of the rear hedge, then went back the next day and went along my front hedge which is about 40 ft. It wasn’t horrendous, but needed a trim, although the top of a out 12ft of it had grown 2ft so they came off easily. (3 of the 5 lights still on) so I went up a side, only about 20ft but trimming away, and occasionally up high to remove conifer from next door which is aloud to go wild. The andle adjuster is so easy to use … Just push button, angle where you want and release and it locks. My only gripe but not an issue is the said 16mm cut.. if it’s green fresh stalks it will do it, but it defi5 wouldn’t cut through branches that have seasoned if you know what I mean, but rather would jam. Then you just have to free it and carry on. Not a problem for me as those areas I would and will just use the loppers.
Overall I’m very pleased so far with this product, and would recommend if you have a high enough hedge.. obviously as it is long when it’s short lol, so if you don’t need the hight it’s not for you, but if you do I think you will love it.
Great trimmer and well balanced if lifting straight above head. Unfortunately the controls are at the bottom of the handle so when extended it can be hard to balance and start the trimmer at the same time as they are so far away.
When using the trimmer normally (non extended) it is very heavy and hard to use. Would be nice if the extender bit could be removed to make the handle closer to the body of the trimmer for closer work.
All said, great trimmer for price but heavy.
Does the job for me…A high short length hedge. Can get heavy and ‘unweilding’ after a short period of time but, I guess most, if not all of this type of machine, are the same or similar. Happy with the purchase.
Great pole hedge trimmer for the price: reasonably lightweight, cuts through soft hedging quite easily. Will not cut thru slightly thicker wood but what do you expect from a sub-100 cordless trimme
Overall a good purchase at a very reasonable price
Only downside is the total weight of then trimmer
I can’t use it because it’s too heavy
However,I’m in my 70’s and short
My tall son manages to use it efficiently though
Battery charges quickly and lasts over 40mns
That’s how long I needed it for
Hope this helps
Did it’s job well , a little hard to use at full extension , could use a side handle , left side to help keep it steady, but over all good.
This product is good but it is not light weight. The battery is very heavy when trying to reach up high.
Not able to balance the cutter very well for comfort but it does cut very well.
I’d had this trimmer for just over a year and it had done a hard season’s work. Just out of the warranty period the cutting blade stopped moving, while the motor was still going full speed. Contacted the seller to see what might be done, although I was resigned to binning it – it was out of warranty and not an expensive, top of the range item.
Immediate response from seller was “Send it back, we’ll fix it … and here’s a postage paid return label”.
Boxed it up, sent it off and had it back today – just four days later! Outstanding customer service.
Already have a smaller hedge trimmer, (use that on the sides of my hedge) but getting to the top of my 7 foot high hedge was a nightmare, this has sorted that! Well enough made, feels robust, some people in the comments mentioned the 2 connecting pins that have broken, erm but if you treat this with care it’s no problem, and why would you want to take it apart anyway?
I’s easy to store in a shed, garage, conservatory.
Once again well worth the money! Better than paying 50 to get my hedge trimmed by someone else.
The trimmer is good quality and battery life. It is easy to assemble and east to use. Saves a lot of time by not having to use the shears to trim the hedges. A very good product.
The trimmer arrived quickly and I was initially concerned, as the box was in tatters. However, it all seemed OK inside and was easy to assemble. It coped well with up to 15mm diameter branches on our evergreens but baulked at anything over this.
The battery lasted well and still had plenty of charge after an hour’s running. As others have said, the trimmer is heavy and you definitely need the shoulder strap supplied.
However, I have issues with the instruction book. The page giving advice about faults, causes and troubleshooting seems to be a ‘cut and paste’ job from another product which may be a chainsaw? Advice to ‘check that the chain is fitted in reverse’ or that ‘the oil tank cover is not closed’, don’t seem right for the trimmer?
So, it seems well able to do the job and worth the four stars I have given, but the instruction book needs attention.
This machine disappointed as it is very heavy to use and the holding pattern is not easy. It is also very slow on cutting speeds. all together disappointed
Haven’t tried the trimmers yet so can’t say how well they work. However, assembling the two main sections was very difficult. There’s an interconnecting tube with the electrical connections that needs to be pushed together about 4 inches. It just wouldn’t insert more than an inch no matter how hard I tried and with the weight at either end of the poles this was even more difficult. In exasperation I gave both ends a good squirt of WD40 and hey presto it slid together with no problem. Why, oh why, can’t the very skimpy and useless instructions just say to do that??
I can’t vouch for the trimmers longevity as I haven’t had it that long but overall I think it’s good value. Whenever you see reviews for these long reach trimmers the complaint is that they are heavy, at 3.5kg I don’t think this is any heavier than any other. Your arms will ache after 15 minutes of use no matter how much you’ve paid. I just wanted to avoid using a stepladder on soft ground and this did the trick. I bought it to tame an unruly conifer hedge, obviously the thicker pieces needed something other than this. Charges quickly and battery life seems good too.
I seen a few comments regarding the weight and yes it is top heavy but really what do you expect when thats where the cutter is and you don’t have a motor at the rear to counter balance but all in all I am extremely happy with this as I can only do so much without taking a rest anyway due to ill health this suits me perfectly
Is a little heavy but does the job. It can go in diffetent positions to suit you. The battery charge is good to be fair and will complete the job no matter how big or small your hedges are. I would recommend this product.
Long pole, adjustable telescopic.
Arrived with a dead battery that would not charge. Contacted seller who sent out replacement.
Easily as powerful as my old makita 18v. Battery lasted a good half hour of heavy hedge cutting. Can be a bit heavy after a while but 60 year old woman used it on 10ft High conifer hedge and 7 ft high spruce hedge followed by a 5ft high privit hedge without a break. .A good buy.
Out of 10 I’ll give this 9 I have never given a 9 befour.
This is a robust piece of kit. The downside is that it is a lot heavier than other trimmers we have had. So much so, that my wife cannot use it, I also think that it would be difficult for older people to use because of the weight.
One year on still works well,added a central handle which makes it easier to use.
Tackles 1cm thick with ease, will do wider (15mm was max I tried) but struggles a bit.
At price paid, it’s a bargain! Impressive
Works really well and made short work of my conifers. Excellent for reaching without using ladders etc.
Negatives: is rather heavy and cumbersome.
Whilst it is easy to assemble, it is very stiff to disassemble and took a lot of pulling to take it apart after use.
Would recommend overall however.
Excellent value for money. Quite heavy so no easy to use when fully extended but using the sling makes it easier. It was easy to put together and seems safe in that it won’t work unles properly assembled and stable. My conifers look much nicer now with a clean, flat edge. Unfortunately can’t be used unextended but then I have another hedge trimmer that doesn’t extend so I was able to buy this one cheaper than a trimmer that did both things.
Very pleased with the quality of this machine, it works extremely well, and so far has managed to cut hedging with quite thick stems. I agree with other reviewers that once it is fully extended it does take some strength to operate but I cannot envisage how this could be improved, however, it is very useful in cutting at the height this machine is capable of.
Great product at a good price. In particular the fast charge is useful compared to other products that take several hours, also it is longer and with a longer trimmer than many others. 2 minor gripes: it’s difficult to separate the two halves after use, still haven’t quite figured out how that works as I can never recall the precise sequence needed to break it down. Secondly, and this is a small problem on very many battery pole trimmers – there’s no handle for your left hand so controlling the weight at full extension is more difficult. In my case, I’ve just fit it with an old brushcutter handle which is perfect. But overall, I’d definitely recommend it (and buy a brushcutter handle for a fiver from ebay!!)
Cannot find spare batteries on Amazon or internet in general.
Battery life is approx 15 mins. However if the naytery is hoing yowards flat it is difficult to cut hedge as hedge twigs stop the motor.
The battery on my machine did not hold charge after second recharge.
There is a minor draw-back, in that the cutting head gets a bit heavy and unwieldy when the pole is extended. However, this consequence of having an extended reach cannot be avoided.
